Parallax 7300 series Converter/Charger Wire Hot
I am not quite sure how to word this so I'll try to be as clear as I can.
I bought a 2006 Wildcat a couple of months ago.
One evening I decided to use the outside "night lights" (don't know what else to call them). My camper has 2 white round outside lights and 2 amber (oval shaped) outside lights. Anyway, I turned all four on using the two switches inside the camper. After a few minutes I noticed an "electrical smell" coming from the converter. I opened the cover and felt around on the insulation on the wires and noticed that the white wire marked "Neg Batt" was extremely hot. Hot enough that I could not hold my finger on the insulation. I suspect that is where the electrical smell is coming from. I turned off the outside lights and after a few minutes the white "neg batt" wire cooled down. I turned them on again and sure enough, the white wire got hot again.
Does anyone know what might be causing this to happen and how might I go about fixing it (if possible)? :?:
I was connected to the 30 amp outlet at the camp ground. Everything seems to work ok and the wire only gets hot when I turn on the outside lights.
